The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

[mediumsnowman]

Got 4 Battle Pods at TRU for $5.99 each, had to ask because they were in a box behind the register. They rang up with the 20% off sale bringing each one to $4.79.

"Exclusive" Batgirl with the movie, "exclusive" Penguin with the book... I really hope they're including less-than-stellar figs here to use better ones in the future stuff.

@Darkdragon You're actually right. But it is more convenient, less hassle in shipping and all the stuff. Just buy the book and you got the pieces. IMO, I am not surprised at all that it is not exclusive they've done that multiple times with the magazine saying exclusive Joker/ Batman etc etc. 

Let's not forget the DK "Exclusive" Jakku guy Minifigure who also ended up coming with the jakku quad jumper

To be fair, the batgirl is actually exclusive, she has a brand new facial expression

I really wish they had done exclusive Arkham uniforms for all of them- melting for Two-Face's left side, plants on Ivy, scratches on Catwoman, question marks on Riddler, etc. Because the inmates don't count as unique figures to me- who cares if it's logical and cost-effective?

$22 for two children books and a Penguin I've already created?

How would you like a job in the graphical arts department in Lego?

[8BrickMario]

Oh, believe me, I have no qualifications to be able to do that. If anyone deserves a job there, it's Robert8. I have ideas, not talent.

Where did you order it from? In the US at least, the minifigure was exclusive to Target. I got it today along with the postcards. The new expressions are nice, but I still think there were lots of better options for an exclusive minifigure.

Oh darn. I ordered from Amazon like I always do. Hmm...what to do now. 

Went by my local TRU and they didn't have bat pods in yet. Not my day for TLBM purchases. 

[Ashnflash]

I had to order through Amazon because it's the only way to get it in Canada. Anyways it came today. Good figure - wish it was some else. But I guess they need to save other character for the other CMF to create variety.

Hi, has anyone seen the Battle Pods in Germany or Italy?

[BatofGotham]

Hey, I barely check this thread so can someone tell me if there's a release date for the cms? And which characters are we getting besides Silver Age Black Canary

I can't find the battle pod at any tru. Would someone be willing to purchase one and then I would pay for the cost of the item itself and shipping? If willing, please pm. Thanks!

[Exetrius]

Probably this has been posted here ages ago, but if not:

An interesting video, showcasing about 20 prototype vehicles. Some really cool ones, like the racer for Catwoman and Scarecrows hot air balloon!

[BlueberryWaffles]

Argh. Was just about to get the Battle Pod at TRU today, and they said they just sold their last one. Fortunately since they're all over the US now the Bricklink prices should be going down.

Finally got some Bat Pods ($5.99 -20%), returned my TLBM to Amazon and got the one from Target too.  I noticed TRU has a special edition as well, comes with a 68 piece model, some sort of Bat plane - I didn't bother looking all that closely.

Now that I've seen the movie though, I really wonder about some of the figures they included in the CMF line and some that were left out of CMF and set. I also wish we would have been provided with the super sad Joker face somewhere, it's adorable. Maybe we were and I've missed it?

Joker's face is on the CMF
